USB is a standard It must have V+ Gr and data = and -
and sometimes a shieled ground

I understand that, I'm not a clueless newbie I have no doubt the
connections are all there, it's just the layout that appears to be non-
standard. This post below from the PB website refers to the Columbia II
board;

There are a few other people with the same problem as well...

I could go the obvious route, and plug in a PCI card or get an internal
3.5" hub, but I wanted to get the two inbuilt case connections working
if possible.

Just a quick note, given up on it. I'm assuming PB deliberately don't
want people to home service their machines in this instance, as any info
on it is completely abscent from their "jumpers and connections" page on
this board (and that's the only available resource on it).

I've picked a different board up to replace it, USB header worked first
time using standard connections.
